Tracing the Tribe is a blog about Jewish genealogy - All the developments, tools and resources you'll need to peer more closely into your family tree. Created in 2006 at JTA's request, it is now independent.

Readers do not need to download the toolbar onto their own computers, but can merely click the new icon - directly above Tracing the Tribe's logo - at the top of the right sidebar. It looks like this:

Click the icon at the top of the right sidebar and, in a few seconds, a toolbar will appear on the top left of the blog page.

You can zoom in and out on the text, change the text page style (white, black, yellow text on different backgrounds), convert a whole page of (or selected text) to audio (with what seems a Scottish accent!), or even change the font.

I'm interested in hearing from readers who have tried it.

The University of Southampton, School of Electronics and Science provides the JISC TechDis ToolBar. Click on the site to try out the demo (see the left sidebar link) and understand more about it.

Looking for any information on Nathan Chart, born about 1884 in Vilna. Moved to Boston at age 18 or so where he met and married Francis Ettinger. I would appreciate any direction or information that you can provide. Thanks
